　　Narrator: 上周Anna 得到了Tip Top 贸易公司的销售专员职位。这还得归功于Anna 面对紧急情况头脑清楚，反应快，处理问题得当。今天是她上班的天。How are you feeling now, Anna?

　　Anna: Excited, but a bit worried. I really want to make a good first impression.

　　Narrator: 没事儿，我教你几句和别人初次见面时常用的一些表达，比如：你好，我们好像以前没见过面。Hello, I don’t think we’ve met.你一定是Tom. You must be Tom.我刚加入公司。I’ve just joined the team.很高兴认识你。Nice to meet you.你在这儿工作有一些年头了吧?Have you worked here long?你看公司的销售经理Tom Darcy 就在那边，你快去打个招呼吧。

　　Tom: (On the phone) Yah, no, yah, yah, yah, OK. I’ll seal the deal, yah, no worries. Yah, alright, see ya mate, bye. (Hangs up)

　　Anna: Hello, I don’t think we’ve met.

　　Tom: No.

　　Anna: You must be Tom. I’m Anna. I’ve just joined the team.

　　Tom: Uh huh.

　　Anna: Nice to meet you. Have you worked here long?

　　Tom: Sorry, I’m quite busy right now – I’ve got a big deal just coming through. But let’s get together sometime. Um... can you do lunch tomorrow?

　　Anna: You want me to do lunch? Well, I’m not very –

　　(Telephone rings)

　　Tom: Sorry, important client. Lunch tomorrow at 12.30 then?

　　(On the phone) Tom speaking. Yah! Frankie! So what’s the latest, are we on?

　　Anna: Well, OK then.

　　Narrator: 真棒!Anna, 你用了些挺好的表达来介绍你自己。遗憾的是Tom 好像对你有点儿爱搭不理的。

　　Anna: I’m sure he’s just busy. But I’m a bit worried about tomorrow!

　　(The next day…)

　　Anna: (Struggling into the office carrying cooking implements) Good morning Paul!

　　Paul: Good morning Anna, are you OK?

　　Anna: Fine, the kitchen’s through there, isn’t it?

　　Paul: Er, yes.

　　(Kitchen noises as Anna starts preparing lunch)

　　Denise: Anna!

　　Anna: Oh hi, Denise!

　　Denise: What are you doing?

　　Anna: Cooking lunch for Tom.

　　Denise: You what?

　　Anna: Tom asked me to have lunch ready for 12.30.

　　Denise: Did he indeed?

　　Tom: Er, Anna.

　　Anna: Hi Tom!

　　Tom: What are you doing?

　　Anna: Spring rolls, followed by crispy duck in black bean sauce.

　　Tom: No, I mean, why are you cooking?

　　Anna: Well, if I don’t start now, it won’t be ready for you by 12.30.

　　Tom: Oh, you misunderstood me, Anna. When I said "Can you do lunch?" it didn’t mean "Can you make lunch?" It meant "Are you available to come to lunch with me?" In a cafe or something.

　　Anna: Oh!

　　Paul: Mmm... something smells good, but what’s going on here?

　　Denise: Anna thinks it’s her job to cook for people!

　　Anna: No, no, I misunderstood!

　　Tom: Anna just got a bit confused.

　　Paul: Well, never mind, it looks tasty.

　　Anna: There’s enough for everyone if you want some.

　　Paul: I think that’s a splendid idea, we can have an office picnic!

　　Anna: Yes!

　　Paul: Mmm, that sauce looks delicious.

　　Anna: Yes, it’s my favourite.

　　Narrator: 看来Anna 今天这个头儿还开的不错。让我们一起回顾一下她刚才用到的一些表达：

　　Hello, I don’t think we’ve met.

　　You must be Tom.

　　I’ve just joined the team.

　　Nice to meet you.

　　Have you worked here long?

　　Narrator: 记住如果有人对你说"Would you like to do lunch?" 意思可不是说让你给他们做午餐。这句话的实际意思是我们一起吃个午饭吧。
